There was a security check at the entrance of the auditorium. Only after all dangers had been eliminated could people enter the auditorium. Moreover, not every passenger on the ship could enter. It was actually a rule that only those with a net worth of more than ten million were qualified to enter. This auction was of an extraordinarily high level.
Mo Wen originally thought that Shen Jing would not be able to meet such high requirements. After all, she was only a university lecturer. However, she only needed to report a Citibank account and the security personnel immediately allowed her to enter. Even Mo Wen and Finley did not stop or question them.
"So, you are a rich young lady. If I marry you, I reckon I won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life," Mo Wen looked at Shen Jing and teased.
"Weren't you so ambitious before, saying that you could do whatever you want in the future? Why, now you only know how to live off a woman?" Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. She seemed to be saying, "Now you know how childish the words you said in the past were."
"What can I do about it? This is how society is. Isn't it said that working hard for a lifetime is not as good as reincarnating into a good life," Mo Wen said with a dry laugh.
"Don't be serious. Everything I have, I didn't rely on my family. I earned it with my own efforts."
Shen Jing snorted softly. It was fine if she didn't want to improve herself, but she actually said that she was relying on her family to live off her parents.
"You earned it yourself?"
A glint of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. Shen Jing was just a university lecturer, so no matter what, she couldn't earn so much money. She wasn't like him, who could casually extort a person to get such a large sum of money.
"Of course." Shen Jing raised her chin and said proudly.
"How did you earn it?" Mo Wen asked curiously.
"Business, of course. I own 35% of Sister Lin's Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals, and I get dividends every year. Back then, Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals was founded by me and Sister Lin together. Now, seven or eight years have passed. "
Shen Jing smiled. She had only made one investment, and it was her most successful investment.
"What do you mean you are doing business? It should be Sister Lin doing business and you are just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of her labor." Upon hearing that, Mo Wen immediately understood what she meant.
"Ptui, what do you mean by sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor? I've also put in a lot of effort. Back then, for the sake of Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals' medicine, I put in a lot of effort. Now that the company is on the right track, I don't care anymore. "
Shen Jing glared at Mo Wen a little angrily. He actually dared to deny her contribution, as though money was so easy to earn.
"It's just a small pharmaceutical company. Look at how proud you are," Mo Wen said with a smile.
"What do you mean by a small pharmaceutical company? Aren't you afraid of twisting your tongue when you are boasting?" Shen Jing's face was taut and she looked as though she was giving Mo Wen a hard time.
Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals was a very famous pharmaceutical company in China. Its total assets were more than 4 billion RMB. Although it could not be compared to some giants, it was still a big company.
"Okay, okay. It's a big company."
Mo Wen rolled his eyes. Very sensibly, he did not argue with Shen Jing anymore. Otherwise, it would be a problem whether he could even sleep on the bed tonight.
"You don't mean what you say," Shen Jing said ungratefully.
Finley, who was walking behind the two of them, felt rather helpless. After spending two and a half days together, this pair of enemies had quarreled at least three times. However, every time, she felt that Mo Wen was too much of a b * stard. He was simply deliberately angering her.
Inside the auditorium, the space was very big. However, there were not many seats. There were not more than 500. Obviously, there were not many people who could participate in this auction. The decoration of the venue was very luxurious. Just walking in, it gave people a comfortable atmosphere. There were many service staff working inside. In front of every seat, there was a fruit drink. The treatment was very good.
Mo Wen and Shen Jing found the seat number that corresponded to their tags. Just as they sat down, a woman dressed in luxurious clothes walked over.
"Shen Jing, you have finally appeared. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Yang Ting smiled arrogantly. She lifted her chin slightly and stood in front of Shen Jing as she said this.
"Why were you waiting for me?" Shen Jing asked indifferently.
"Of course I was waiting for you to show off your abilities. Aren't you passionate about charity? Tonight, don't stand on ceremony. At least, you have to be much better than me. "
Yang Ting said with a smile. She seemed to be on good terms with Shen Jing.
"Charity is just a thought. It is not used to compare. Moreover, my ability is limited. I can only provide some help to my friends in the country. As for overseas charity, please forgive me for not being able to do it."
Shen Jing glanced at Yang Ting and said indifferently. This woman actually used charity to make an issue out of it.
Many people knew that Shen Jing and Yang Ting had a conflict. As for the reason, it was a little complicated.
Back then, Lin Qing and Shen Jing ran a company together in Charm City. They had made quite a name for themselves. As both of them were talented, intelligent, and beautiful, the people in Charm City's business world called them the two lotus flowers of the business world.
Coincidentally, at that time, Yang Ting had returned from studying abroad. She had officially taken over the family business. She had been shuttling through various places in Charm City's upper class society. Although she had some fame, she was still not as good as Shen Jing and Lin Qing. Yang Ting was extremely conceited. She had almost blind confidence in her talent and ability in business.
When others said that she was not as good as Shen Jing and Lin Qing, she was naturally not convinced. There was a period of time when she competed with the two of them in almost every aspect. However, reality proved that she was at a disadvantage every time.
There was one time when Yang Ting and Shen Jing attended a charity auction at the same time. At that auction, she spent a lot of money in one go. She was extremely bold and unrestrained. She thought that she would be able to win. However, she did not expect that Shen Jing would donate twice as much money as she did. Moreover, she left silently after donating. In the end, without Yang Ting knowing, she recklessly publicized her charity act. She even claimed to be the benevolent leader and accepted the flattery of people from all walks of life.
It was only until the next day that she found out that she was not the benevolent leader. Instead, it was the extremely low-profile Shen Jing. Obviously, her previous actions had become a laughing stock. Moreover, it had been circulating in the circle.
From then on, she completely hated Shen Jing. However, not long after, Shen Jing quietly left Charm City and went to Hua Xia University to teach. Yang Ting wanted to take revenge, but she could not find the chance.
That time, she lost to Shen Jing. This time, she had to win back, and she had to win beautifully.
She had already decided that during the auction, no matter what Shen Jing auctioned, she would not let her get her way. She would make sure that Shen Jing did not win a single item. After that, she would mock her properly.
Now that she had completely taken control of the family business, the funds in her hands were far greater than before. Not to mention Shen Jing, even if Pu Yuan Pharmaceuticals' Lin Qing was here, she would not care.
Furthermore, the auction this time wasn't really for charity. The items that were being auctioned were all priceless items. Some of the items were so valuable that it was difficult to estimate their value. Therefore, she wouldn't suffer too much of a loss if she won the auction. She could even use the name of a charity auction.
"Shen Jing, you are really too humble. Who in Charm City does not know your good name? Even now, people are talking about your heroic act at the Charm City Charity Auction. Don't disappoint me later. "
Yang Ting took advantage of the situation and continued to attack. Naturally, she would not give up this opportunity to suppress Shen Jing. In her eyes, Shen Jing's previous words were avoidance and lack of confidence.
"Ridiculous."
Shen Jing shook her head. This Yang Ting was really possessed. It was just an auction, but she actually did such a ridiculous thing.
"Hmph, if you can't, then you can't. Why are you looking for excuses?"
Yang Ting laughed coldly. She was sure that Shen Jing was afraid of her, so she would not give up.
"Sir, I'm really sorry to disturb you. May I know if we can change seats? I want to catch up with my friend. "
Just as the few of them were talking, a black middle-aged man walked over. He looked at the plate number in his hand, then looked at the seat beside Shen Jing. Just as he was about to sit down, Yang Ting blocked his way.
The black middle-aged man frowned, but seeing that Yang Ting was polite and her reason was very reasonable, he could not reject her. Therefore, he reluctantly nodded and exchanged plates with Yang Ting. It was just a seat. This kind of thing should not offend people if possible. After all, most of the people who could participate in the auction were either rich or respectable.
Yang Ting smiled arrogantly and sat down elegantly beside Shen Jing. It was as if she was waiting for Shen Jing to make a fool of herself.
Finley, who was sitting at the back, frowned and looked at Yang Ting with disgust. This woman was really too annoying. She had no manners or manners at all.
"Yang Ting, Shen Jing obviously has a male companion beside her. You are asking a lady to contribute money and effort. That is not right. Shouldn't this kind of occasion be the time for a man to show off?"
A man's voice suddenly sounded. Jiang Siyin was walking over from nearby, as if he had already known that Yang Ting was here.
"Yes, I have neglected this point. Shen Jing, I'm really sorry. It turns out that you have a male companion beside you and don't want to show off too much, right? But it doesn't matter. Your male companion behaves the same way. Shen Jing, you have high standards. There are so many young men who are wooing you, but you don't even care about them. Even Young Master Jiang Siyin is not worthy of your attention. I believe that the male companion that you have chosen must be even more extraordinary. "
Yang Ting seemed to have just come to her senses. She looked at Mo Wen with a gaze full of mockery and mockery. She even tried to drive a wedge between them and ridicule Jiang Siyin.
When she looked at Mo Wen, she always felt that her anger had been vented. With Shen Jing's status, she had actually found a poor lad to be her boyfriend. She had even taken a fancy to a pretty boy. From this point, she felt that her realm was much higher than Shen Jing's.
"I also want to see how capable the man that you have found is."
Jiang Siyin's face was cold as he walked to Mo Wen's side. Using some unknown method, he actually managed to get rid of the person beside Mo Wen. Then, he slowly sat down.
At this moment, Jiang Siyin's face was still a little swollen. His mouth was crooked, and there were many bruises. Although the medical staff had treated him, it was impossible for him to fully recover in a day. Many people in the auditorium were looking at him strangely. They did not know how he had mustered the courage to participate in this auction. (To be continued.)
